There is a sense of peace

that comes from not being able

to solve life's biggest questions

It is lovely to be reminded of the awe of the earth we walk upon. I’ve been caught up in my own thoughts and mind and haven’t stopped to think about the earth, I have been enjoying the moon. Reminding me I haven’t given much thought to the sun lately either! Thank you. 🤩

With the weapon of our knowing laid down,

We see no thing left to fight

For or against…

We finally surrender

Our dogma,

Our agendas,

Our shame

Our fear

We finally trust

Our pain

Our hurts,

Our hearts

The unfolding of our lives.

Perhaps we are not made

to hold the universe—

only to brush it lightly

with our trembling hands.

a poem in itself that flowed, not necessarily to be integrated into the community poem. I gave a fragment for that

.

Whisper to Mystery

.

If the canyon dreams,

does it dream of the river —

or of the stars?

.

If breath can carve stone,

what might patience carve in me?

.

I wonder—

what if existence is not a riddle to solve,

but a vastness to soften into?

.

What if every unanswerable question

is not a flaw in the design,

but the invitation home?

.

I stand here —

small,

fleeting,

fiercely alive —

and bow

to all I will never contain.

Why do I ache, why do I hold fear when everything is Divinely made?

Bow

Indeed ,

To all

That can never

Be known

And also

To all that can

Be felt

face washed, edges softening

I walk leaving no footprints behind

only love has this power

to see joy in a pebble

and know the pebble

is you

In me I can feel the ripple of mystery as it washes through me

Bringing me closer to the

source of creativity

Walk slow

Stay soft my friend and let the river of life

that’s still a mystery touch you

and fall into your cupped hands

Do not rush my friend

for then you will not make space for miracles

You don’t have time to rush

You see,

when you do that, you loose connection

with yourself and what really matters in your life

So often, we just charge forward

Not even knowing where we are going

But why, my friend?

Why do you charge ahead? Where are you going?

As if there’s this important mission that needs to be fulfilled so fast!

But what if your only real mission is to stay connected?

Connected to yourself

and to the unpredictable flow of life

I mean, we don’t know what’s coming

We know what has been

and we know what we don’t want

But we do not know where life will lead us

so, it’s time to slow down my friend

Listen to the voice within trying to be heard,

gently whispering “are you there?”

asking your heart to soften

Soften into life’s vulnerability

Soften into the mystery

allowing it to unfold into your own cupped hands

Carrying it

Breathing with it

Blessing it

And love what is

In the silent stillness I feel the Ocean of mystery cup it’s hands

To gently hold the muse of creativity

For me to drink out of

Filling myself with it’s Devine essence

It moves through my whole body

Ponderings and poems from John's avatar

And yet

At times

Instead of peace

I feel dread

And aloneness

Such that I want to scream

I want to hide

When this is around

There is no awe

Simply pain

And I do my best

To remember

That this experience

Is also part of life

On this rock
